They are on.



The inside outlets are working. There used to be an electric stove in the basement (that was in a room that isn't by the outside outlet), we took the stove out and used the space in the breaker panel for something else, what I don't remember, it was done by our contractor when we bought the house. I mean I suppose it's possible it was on that circuit even though it would be nonsensical.



Interesting. I don't know if that would necessarily work but I'll try it tomorrow.



But... then how will I get superpowers?



I assumed that it was the plug, and grabbed some GFCI plugs on sale. I replaced the plug assuming that was the problem, so it's a new GFCI plug that's there now. The old one was GFCI as well, as were the others.


Thanks for all the input. I'd like to get it working, if for nothing else it would make putting up the Christmas lights a bit easier as it's in the best place for extension cords.
Often, the exterior plugs are all on one circuit, perhaps at one point, the wire was disconnected upstream in the box of the other one?
